In January, 2015, Amanda Ormond of the 4CWRC penned a piece for The Arizona Republic titled "Wind: Arizona's overlooked energy source." The article was featured in the paper’s “Into the Mind” column where an expert (in this case, Ms. Ormond) answers a series of questions. The article was published in conjunction with the wind-powered Super Bowl.

Northern Arizona University (NAU) collaborated with the Distributed Wind Energy Association (DWEA) to develop a case study on the 1.8 kW wind turbine that NAU helped to install at the Hopi Day School. The case study, detailing the economic, environmental, and educational benefits of the project, will be featured on the DWEA website and will be used to educate federal decision-makers during DWEA’s annual ‘Day On the Hill’ in February 2015.

Northern Arizona University (NAU) delivered a wind resource assessment report to the Hopi Tribe Renewable Energy Office. The report, which included data from met towers at two sites over 5 years, was presented to the Hopi Tribal Council in September 2014. The Council has requested further meetings to discuss wind development as a result, and the report will be used to discuss potential future wind resource assessment and to encourage tribal leaders to attend a wind-energy-education mini-workshop proposed by the 4CWRC. The report includes proprietary information and, as such, is not provided on this website.

Interwest’s Nevada representative Kyle Davis secured a letter to the editor (8/16/14) by Republican Assemblyman Tom Grady (District 38) in the Reno Gazette-Journal. This effort was supported by funding from the Wind Energy Foundation.

The June 12, 2014 publication of the Pueblo Chieftain published a letter to the editor by Sarah Cottrell Propst of Interwest Energy Alliance. The letter described wind energy’s contributions to stable electricity rates and the state’s economy.

In May 2014, NAU published the Arizona Wind and Solar Status Report. The interactive website allows users to view the status of utility-scale renewable energy development by county, tribal, or military jurisdiction. The report also includes a summary of renewable energy technologies and current state policy issues, along with modeled and validated economic impacts in terms of jobs created during construction and maintenance of these utility-scale renewable energy plants.
